Anyone else tried Ammonia?
I have an "Afterbite" pen that I find surprisingly efficacious when applied promptly to the site of the sting.
It appears to be 3.5% ammonia and not a lot else. Since there is not that much acid in a bee sting I can only assume that it is denaturing the melitin.
At the moment I am working just in a bee suit over a pair of shorts. So I am getting stung when I bend down and trap their feet in the weave of my bee suit - the point being that the whole sting does not stay in me!
So stings are the white ring with the red centre rather than anything worse. But, I find that after an hour I cannot see where I have been stung at all.
Not sure it is much help if you are stung on the eye or lip, but elsewhere it could be a useful quick bit of extra help.
Cannot say I am impressed by Anthisan, I used to find the Wasp-Eze ointment much better, but it seems to be off the market
